Geng Chaozhong put down the phone, but did not walk out of the room, he had a hunch that Liu Yiban would call again.

Sure enough, less than three minutes later, the phone came again, Geng Chaozhong picked up the phone, and before he could speak, Liu Yiban's voice came from the phone:

"Cloud Valley! Call Geng Chaozhong back for me! ”

Geng Chaozhong replied calmly: "Section chief, I'm here." ”

There was suddenly no sound in the microphone, and after a while, Liu Yiban's voice came again:

"Xiao Geng, you are doing a good job and you are very sensible. I'll take the train back this afternoon, don't go anywhere, pick me up at the train station at six o'clock in the afternoon. By the way, don't go to Ding Weizun, and I'll arrange a task for you when I come back. ”

"Yes, Chief." Geng Chaozhong didn't say much.

Geng Chaozhong could fully imagine the shock of this news to Liu Yiban, he definitely hadn't thought of a specific plan of action in a short period of time, and he had to leave him plenty of time to think.

But looking at this, Yantai can't go for the time being.

After thinking about it, Li Hao couldn't afford to do the things he arranged for himself, if Li Hao was passing the letter normally, if something happened in Yantai, and Li Hao's letter was a warning, it really couldn't be delayed.

Geng Chaozhong took out the letter from his arms, opened it and read it again.

"Hengqiao Wudi, see the words like meeting. Recently, there was news from my hometown in Hunan that my cousin suddenly fell to the ground when she was feeding chickens, suspected of having a stroke in the autumn cool, and was anxious to return to her hometown to visit her brother as soon as possible. ”

A very ordinary letter from home.

Geng Chaozhong carefully recalled the history of his previous life, but unfortunately he did not have a deep impression of Yantai.

To tell the truth, Geng Chaozhong's historical knowledge is accompanied by military knowledge, and unless there is a major war in the local area, Geng Chaozhong can recall some relevant historical situations. For example, the May Day Massacre, the Jinan Incident, the Jiang-Gui War, the Central Plains War, etc., are still relatively clear, but it is really unclear whether there has been a big move in Yantai.

For example, I didn't know about Liu Zhennian's battle against Han Fuqu, but I heard about it on the way to Qingdao.

After thinking about it, Geng Chaozhong decided to use Wu Zecheng.

Wu Zecheng left the police station on the afternoon of the day Geng Chaozhong looked for Yang Wenxiu, but he did not come to Geng Chaozhong, but sent a letter over. To the effect that it is not very convenient in the short term, I will come over after dealing with some personal matters, and I have left myself an emergency contact address.

Geng Chaozhong didn't care.

He knows very well that Wu Zecheng has a deep relationship with our party, and Zhu Fatzi must have made arrangements for Wu Zecheng when he leaves. It's really inconvenient to ask about my current situation.

Because in essence, Geng Chaozhong's current identity is just a friend of the Communist Party.

For example, Yang Dengying, a well-known spy leader in the Party Investigation Section, often reported to the Communist Party, and even rescued Communist Party members who had been imprisoned in the Party Investigation Section but had not yet been exposed, but he did not join the Communist Party.

There are many such people in the history of our party, and in the eyes of Zhu Fatzi, he is likely to be such a person.

So there are some things that you can just see for yourself, and you don't want to get involved in them for the time being.

Closing the door of the General Affairs Unit, Geng Chaozhong began to walk outside.

Xie Yungu was lying on the railing at the top of the stairs, looking down boredly, hearing footsteps, turning his head to see Geng Chaozhong walking out, and asked, "Are you done?" ”

Geng Chaozhong nodded and motioned for Xie Yungu to enter.

He didn't want to talk nonsense with Xie Yungu - now that he can't go to Yantai, he needs to tell Wu Zecheng about this matter and let Wu Zecheng complete this task.

He can't trust anyone else.

And Wu Zecheng, can.

Of course, Wu Zecheng didn't know anything about Japanese spies, but it didn't matter, it was nothing more than finding him to say hello, because this Teng Hongyuan was originally a Japanese spy, or a Japanese spy mastered by Zhu Fatzi.

Teng Hongyuan, a native of Dezhou, Shandong, studied at the Department of Economics of Kyoto Imperial University in Japan in his early years, during which he was influenced by the Comintern branch in Japan and joined the Communist Party of Japan, but soon after returning to China, he left the party and did not join the Communist Party of China, but joined the Nationalist Government.

In fact, such people were very common in the early history of our party, they only joined the Communist Party out of interest and passion when they were in school, but later realized that they did not have the courage and willpower to engage in the revolutionary movement, so they finally chose to leave the party. Most of the Communist Party members who left the Party during the Great Revolution and April 12 belonged to this category.

After Teng Hongyuan returned to Shandong, because he was proficient in Japanese and a native of Shandong, he was soon favored by Han Fuqu and joined the Qingdao Special Municipal Government.

The Nanjing government's control over the city of Qingdao was superficial, with only a few high-level leaders, such as Mayor Wu Ruoyu, and the rest of the middle- and lower-level officials were mostly locals.

This is also an inevitable need of politics, otherwise no matter how many officials from Nanjing are parachuted, they will certainly be hollowed out by local middle- and lower-level officials.

Teng Hongyuan's joining the Communist Party in Japan is a huge secret, and Teng Hongyuan himself also has a lot of business information with his Japanese classmates in Manchuria, and he grabs a lot of braids. Zhu Fatzi mastered this information through the Comintern and successfully controlled Teng Hongyuan, but he never used it.

And Geng Chaozhong plans to use it now.

Geng Chaozhong returned to his dormitory in the Investigation Department and changed into a Chinese-style robe, took a top hat and walked out of the gate of the office building, and did not drive, but walked all the way to the west.

Mr. Wu lives in a Chinese area called Taixi Town. The vast majority of the people living there were poor laborers and the destitute class, and Geng Chaozhong understood very well why Wu Zecheng chose this place - because the mass base was good enough, and the town of Taitung and Taixi were very important sources for the previous general strikes in the island city.

After walking far to the north, Geng Chaozhong took a rickshaw and walked to Taixi Town. The rickshaw driver dragged Geng Chaozhong and ran for half an hour before he came to this place, which is called a town, which is actually larger than most of the county towns of the Republic of China.

The streets of Taixi Town are far from catching up with the prosperity of Zhongshan Road, but it has a more traditional local atmosphere, with all kinds of legs, inns, inns, and guild halls lined up on the street, and it seems to have returned to the Ming and Qing dynasties in a trance.

Geng Chaozhong came to a Chinese-style house called Qi Yan Guild Hall and began to knock on the door.

An old man with a goatee opened the door, rolled his eyes and asked in Shandong:

"Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for a township party named Wu Liuzi."

Geng Chaozhong said in Hebei dialect.

The island city is a city of immigrants, and according to the source of immigrants, there are three halls, Qiyan Hall, which is mainly composed of Shandong and Hebei people, Sanjiang Hall, which is composed of Hunan, Hubei, and Cantonese people.

Wu Zecheng is known as Wu Liuzi and settled here.

Entering the door is an empty courtyard, inside are row rooms, the bookkeeper said a while, then ran inside and shouted a few times, after a while, Wu Zecheng rolled up his trousers and walked out bare-chested, with a little white flour on his body.

This guy usually looks quite thin, but he didn't expect his muscles to be quite strong!

"My godmother is sick, I have to come and see for a few days."

Wu Zecheng explained while patting the flour on his body.

"Let's go, I'll go see your godmother." Geng Chaozhong said - I thought Wu Zecheng was busy with something else, but I didn't expect it to be a private matter.

Wu Zecheng led Geng Chaozhong into the courtyard, there was a big grinding plate in the middle of the courtyard, and it seemed that Wu Zecheng was grinding noodles just now.

Bypassing the millstone and walking into a row room, an old man with gray hair was lying there covered with a large quilt, with a withered expression and blank eyes, and it seemed that he was indeed not lightly ill, or rather, he was terminally ill......

Geng Chaozhong sighed, and didn't go over to greet - the greeting was already superfluous at this time.

"Here you go," Geng Chaozhong took out a small money bag from his arms, "There are ten oceans in it, you find someone to watch your godmother first." ”

Wu Zecheng was not polite and took it.

Geng Chaozhong took out a large envelope from his arms, which contained something given to him by Li Hao, and stuffed it to Wu Zecheng.

"This place is very close to the Sifang Wharf, you take a freighter to Yantai, take advantage of the evening, go to Liu Zhennian's station to find a company commander named Chen Hengqiao, and give him the contents of the envelope." Geng Chaozhong said in a low voice.

"Aren't you afraid that I will run away with money?"

Wu Zecheng pinched the envelope, and a smile appeared on his thin face.

"Don't be afraid, I believe in Zhu Fatzi's vision."

Geng Chaozhong smiled, then attached his mouth to Wu Zecheng's ear, and whispered, Wu Zecheng nodded frequently.
